For the dial, purists will appreciate the three variations of the iconic blue/grey counters, the famous “tri-compax” dial layout that made its mark on watchmaking history. The piece is paired with an alligator strap of a similar shade. The Fine Watch Club edition is dedicated to the tight-knit circle of collectors who look for what others don’t possess.įor the first time, this model features a bronzed “tobacco” dial. This exclusive iteration of the capsule collection is a reminder of the popularity of this watchmaking legend still widespread among collectors. The Zenith El Primero 50th Anniversary limited edition of just 24 pieces blends different aspects of its heritage.

Capable of beating at 36,000 vibrations per hour since 1969, this calibre has been at the heart of the manufacture’s collections as well as that of other brands, such as the inescapable Cosmograph Daytona from Rolex, of which the first vibrations were powered by the El Primero. Its mechanical precision is the core of its DNA. And now, with Zenith’s Revival series in precious metals to celebrate 50 years of its legendary movement, the brand has exclusively created with the Fine Watch Club a limited edition of the iconic A386-an honour bestowed solely on the Club, available only for its members. Back then, a completely modern take on the chronograph design, the A386 is sought after model on the vintage market. And this world premiere movement? It was housed in the reference A386, a watch with a bold dial design with three different coloured subdials and an angled date at 4:30. Initially introduced in 1969 in Baselworld’s Hall 1.0, the movement took the industry by storm for its frequency, beating at 36,000 vibrations per hour, setting a new standard few could meet. El Primero is the mouthpiece of the Zenith manufacture.
